cwRsync is an implementation of Rsync for Windows. Rsync uses a file transfer technology specified by the Rsync algorithm, transferring only changed chunks of files over the network. cwRsync can be used for remote file backup and synchronization from/to Windows systems. cwRsync contains Cygwin DLLs and a compiled version of Rsync on Cygwin. A client GUI is also provided as of the version 5.0.0.

History

The first version of cwRsync was developed to address requirements of an internal project at Color Line, and is published as a free solution on the mailing list for Rsync users. cwRsync became very popular quickly[2][3][4][5][6][7] and is kept updated with newer versions of underlying solutions.

As of November 22, 2011, Itefix Consulting decided to deliver cwRsync binary installers as paid downloads, to cover expenses/time spent.[8] A barebone distribution is available for free.[9]
